Check Out The Looks

According to Monae, the hair looks for the Degen show were all about matte texture and individuality through the use of twists, faux locs, and cornrows. The foundation for all of the styles was the Schwarzkopf Grip Volume mousse and Dust It. All styles were finished off with the Schwarzkopf Freeze Spray.

Look 1: All Locked Up

Add Grip to wet or dry hair. Blow dry for even distribution. Add Dust It to dry hair to create texture without shine. Twist large sections of hair around fingers from root to ends. Slide a flat-iron up and down the hair to create more texture. Finish with Freeze spray.

Look 2: Rows My Way

Add Grip to wet or dry hair. Blow dry for even distribution. Create 3 large sections starting from just above the eye brow toward the nape of the neck. Add a cornrow on each side of the head. Next, add a fish tail braid the top of the head and loosen to preference. Secure braids with a rubber band and bobby pin them under at the ends. Use Osis Mess up to secure the fly aways as you braid the hair. Finish with Freeze spray.
